+Typing
+======
+
+Satella contains some expressions to help you with typing.
+You import them from `satella.coding.typing`.
+They are as follows:
+
+* `ExceptionClassType` - base type of exception class
+* `Number` - an amalgam of int and float
+* `T`, `U`, `K`, `V` - type vars to use
+* `Iteratable` - a generic iterator or an iterable of `T`
